As-Built LiDAR Measuring & Permit Base Plans BC

Need As-Built measuring or a complete permit package? We provide precision 360° LiDAR scanning, automated 2D CAD spatial baselines, and complete permit drawing packages for renovations, additions, and commercial TIs across BC.

Path to Building Permit Approval

From 360° LiDAR scanning on day one to municipal building permit approval — every step is covered.

1

360° LiDAR Site Scan

Our technician captures thousands of laser measurements per second, creating a millimeter-accurate 3D digital twin of your existing space — far faster and more precise than traditional tape-measure methods.

2

2D CAD Spatial Layout & Baseline Data

We process raw scan data to generate clean 2D AutoCAD (DXF) spatial exports, dimensional PDF floor plans, and interactive 360° virtual tours for your designer, engineer, or contractor to draft from.

3

Renovation & TI Permit Design

Our design team overlays proposed layout modifications on the as-built base, checking BC Building Code compliance, fire separations, travel distances, and Step Code energy targets.

4

Municipal Permit Submission

We assemble the complete permit drawing package, handle city portal submission, and resolve municipal review comments until your building permit is approved.

Proven As-Built Track Record Across BC

We have helped homeowners and commercial tenants across BC capture accurate existing conditions, avoid permit rejections, and kick-start their renovation and TI projects on solid footing.

Why Accurate As-Builts Are Mandatory for BC Permits

Any major renovation, home addition, or commercial Tenant Improvement requires an accurate set of base drawings before you can apply for a building permit. Municipalities in Metro Vancouver and across BC will immediately reject a permit application if the existing conditions are assumed or inaccurate.

We use a 360° LiDAR Scanner — a tripod-mounted device that shoots thousands of laser pulses per second to capture every wall, door, window, column, and structural beam with millimeter accuracy. We process this spatial data to produce accurate 2D AutoCAD (DXF) floor plans, dimensional PDF reports, and interactive 360° walkthroughs—giving your designer, engineer, or contractor the exact spatial foundation they need.

From scope definition to final file delivery, our 4-step process sets up your renovation or commercial TI permit application on a solid, undeniable foundation of data.
